They had a bit of a misstep with their second album, ‘We Knew It Was Not Going To Be Like This’, but it appears that they’ve returned to strong pop form with this new track. Maybe it’s all the heroin references, but it sure sounds like Lou Reed as a kid with the testipops trying out for a Ride or Slint cover band. A hook as striking as any Peter Pan villain, and melted vocals that plead like John Hughes is back to making so-bad-they’re-classic high school movies.
